With 200 rooms, five restaurants and cutting-edge technology, a new luxury venture will be built in the Algarve, more properly in the municipality of Vila Real de Santo António, promising to become a reference in the region’s tourist sector. The project of this luxurious hotel belongs to BodyHoliday, an internationally recognized company in welfare tourism, which has over 30 years of experience. The new hotel unit will be implemented at Praia da Puquota, on the Rota blanket, offering guests direct access to the sand through wooden walkways.
The resort will have a total of 200 rooms, distributed between 40 individuals, 160 doubles and 20 suites. In addition, it will have five restaurants, a modern gym, three outdoor pools and one interior, providing visitors with various leisure and relaxation options. The highlight of the venture will be the Center for Welfare and SPA, which will provide 50 rooms dedicated to massages and therapeutic treatments.
What will be the cost of the project?
The investment for the construction of the hotel reaches 158 million euros, according to information released by the municipality on February 10. The works will start in 2025, and the conclusion is planned in 2026 and the official opening for 2027, writes a.
One of the innovative aspects of the project will be the implementation of advanced technologies, both at the level of construction materials and techniques, and in the hotel systems and equipment. These innovative solutions will allow you to raise the quality of service offered and reinforce the resort’s position in the innovation and development sector, as stressed by the municipality.
Sustainability will be one of the pillars of the new venture. The hotel bets on efficient environmental performance, ensuring a lower ecological footprint. Construction will incorporate energy efficiency solutions and eco-friendly materials, promoting a more responsible tourism model aligned with current environmental concerns.
In addition to environmental and technological benefits, this major investment will have a significant impact on the local economy. The construction of the resort provides for the creation of 337 jobs, which will contribute to the development of the region and to the promotion of the tourist sector.
According to Álvaro Araújo, mayor of Vila Real de Santo António, the project will have a determining role in redefining the tourist offer of the county. According to the mayor, this new hotel unit “will change the tourist paradigm of Vila Real de Santo António, reinforcing the quality of the offer and attracting visitors to luxury segments”.
The hotel comes as a strategic bet to capture more demanding and differentiated tourism, seeking to compete with other luxury units of the Algarve. The inclusion of a high level spa, exquisite gastronomy and an innovative design will be a point of attraction for tourists looking for exclusive and personalized experiences.
The location of this luxury venture, close to Ria Formosa and beaches of great natural beauty, should also be a differentiating factor. The Rota Manta Zone is already known for its extensive sand and quiet waters, characteristics that will now be complemented by a new luxury offer.
The presence of modern infrastructures and premium services may attract not only tourists on vacation, but also visitors interested in welfare retreats and relaxation experiences, a growing sector within the tourism industry.
The Algarve remains one of Europe’s most sought after tourist destinations, and this project reinforces its position as a luxury and innovation destination. With a concept that combines comfort, technology and sustainability, the new hotel promises to contribute to the modernization of the region’s hotel offering.
With the inauguration scheduled for 2027, it now remains to follow the evolution of the project and realize how this innovative bet can transform the tourist dynamics of Vila Real de Santo António.
